[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 1171064, member: 13448"] Was not bad to begin with. What is evident: - Look at the "before" frequency responce of your Left, Centre and Right speakers. Notice the spike between 300hz and 600hz? That is the B&W Diamond "house sound - upper mid bass bump". It makes male vocals, woodwind instruments and cello's sound warm and lush and pushes it foreward into the soundstage mix. If you like the house sound and if you use the Anthem as pre-amp for stereo as well with the correction applied, the ARC correction will cancel that house curve out. - Looks like your front left, centre and right has also been set up as "small" as the crossover is set at 100hz. You can see how the frequency level is attenuated and drops below 100hz. Your subwoofers start to roll off as the frequency climbs above 60hz so you are going to have a "dead-spot" between 60hz and 100hz (main speakers output drop and subwoofer output drops). Between 50hz and 100hz your subs' levels is already attenuated by 10db. I would set the cross over on the fronts at 60hz which is the point at which the fronts hand over the bass duties to the subs - and where the subs are delivering their maximum impact. [/QUOTE]
